[Atrix 4G General] Spinstorm:
My Atrix keeps waking itself up after putting it to sleep and STAYING on...

It is killing the battery life. This has only happened since the update...

Solutions?
[Atrix 4G General] slowpc:
I had that once before on my old build. Not sure what did it but it did end up stopping after a little bit myself. I think it was an app that was doing it
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
I would check to see if any apps are causing your phone to wake up; I remember this happening on my Captivate last year. I don't remember what the problem was but I knew it stopped after a week or so.
[Atrix 4G General] nightsbird:
Something I have noticed with 1.5.7 the supposed fix to allow the phone to sleep while charging was a sinple change in the setting under development. I also have noticed when you place the phone on the charger if the lock screen is up and you are using the fingerprint scanner. you can never ( or should I say rarely) get it to stay asleep as it keeps reading the button press as a finger swipe. The only solution I have found is to make the the phone is on the home screen and press the button to make it sleep. then it stays asleep
[Atrix 4G General] GloriousDJ:
I have had things like this happen to me, for a while I was using GingerBlur and I thought thats why the phone was glitching but when I went back to stock I had it glitch like this a few times on me also... I almost feel like my Atrix is running a beta...
[Atrix 4G General] jaguars_paw:
I have not had any issues with the slider itself but i have observed this for a few days now. When i slide to unlock the screen, it goes directly to the contacts page and just freezes for a while. no other buttons work except hitting the home button and then ot works as usual. Any pointers? i recently rooted my phone and flashed it with the Alien rom [build #4 - 2.6.32.9]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
So I mistakenly installed the i9000 voodoo lagfix kernal.......problem is.no voice calls on my phone. I'll tell what state my phone is currently in, and where i'd like to be, and any help i can get would be greatly appreciated.

Current State:

Firmware Version 2.2

Baseband Version I897UCKB1

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Build number Froyo.UCKB1

Phone build 1006

rooted/shell rooted/market enabled with SuperOneClick

I disabled the voodoo lagfix but still have the I9000 kernel apparently (splash screen and no voice calls)

Where I want to be:

Stock Froyo

Rooted (which I know how to do)

Voodoo Lagfix built on captivate kernel, not I900 (because I like to talk on my phone)

That's all I want. Odin1click seems to not want to work for me anymore, unless I'm apparently doing something wrong in my method of operation.

I cannot seem to find a stock Froyo rom? Maybe I just don't know how to search the forum, because I can't ever seem to find anything very easily.

Please someone help me, this is my only phone, and I had to borrow a laptop for the night, to fix my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
well........nevermind, imagine, after a giant pitcher of amberbock and a shot.......

first thing i do when i come home is get the correct kernel with voodoo lagfix installed

wtf. no more I9000! So I think I got to where I wanted all by myself, well i mean I didn't make all the oneclicks but you guys know what I mean!

edit: i did a quadrant, I feel I have the stock kernel installed but not lagfix as my quadrant is only 900 something? doesn't seem right cosidering

i was close to 1800 before on i9000 *sigh* Still would like to find a stock ATT FROYO rom Just in case
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Quadrant means nothing. I ran two benchmarks one after each other with the same setup and got 900 and 1500. It only looks big when you compare it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Well is there any way to check filesystem to make sure its ext4?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Just look for the voodoo folder. If it is there then it is installed. As for your scores that seems about right for a stock Tom, the i9000 Tom's will always be faster as they are more updated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Well its there just dunno if its from before. Also before whem I rebooted into recovery I would go into a 2nd screen that was red that would let me enable or disable lagfix.....doesn't happen now.....dunno if I really care though cuz at least I can talk on my phone now lol....anyone know if supercurio is working on voodoo sound built on captivate 2.2?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Thank you for not like living me off for going nuts the other night lol. From what I can gather, you are a HNIC?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I am sorry I dont think I understand what you mean.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
when you go into recovery what screen do you come to?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] arodey:
So this is the Xoom bootanimtion rotated and scaled to fit our phone. I just pulled it from the system dump. Sent it to my boy bigt305. Then he did all the magic. DO NOT FLASH!!! You have to move it to /system/media with Root Explorer, etc. Enjoy, I do!

EDIT: So I added a tweaked one which seems to run better, on my phone at least. Also here's a link to a flashable version http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11652410&postcount=458. Be sure to thank Kfunk.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dubach:
so i am having trouble getting this to wrk.. this is what i did. i downloaded the tweaked bootanimation.zip and moved it ver to my sdcard. the i moved that zip to the system/media and deleted the old boot animation . but it just goes to the original android boot animation. What did i do wrong?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sparticuz:
rename tweaked_bootanimation to bootanimation
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
Very nice! Thanks for this!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dubach:
well, i did as you said but then i restarted it and now it just goes black and doesnt show any boot animation. then it loads up like normal. but it seems to skip the boot animation. any ideas? i think i will replace it with a new download and see what that does.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Shadow666walker:
Bootanimation.zip is what you're aiming for. Make sure the extension is there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dubach:
I will try that. I'm pretty sure I did that but ill try again
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dubach:
Eh it did seem to work =[
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] user7618:
Not to be condensending, but lets review what you should do. :)

1. Dl the zip.

2. Rename zip to "bootanimation.zip", no quotation marks.

3. Move file to the system/media folder. There should be one there already.

4. Paste the new .zip. It should ask if you want to overwrite the current. Say yes.

5. Reboot. It should work at this time.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to help. I know the file is good, I use it myself.

HELPFUL INFO FOR *ALL* BOOT ANIMATION ZIPS

AND *ALL* USERS:

I always drop boot anim zips into data/local, that way it sticks through every ROM flashover when you don't wipe. So follow user's instructions, only leave the system one alone and put it in data/local, it will automatically override the system media. Try it and report back. Also, if it still won't work, which I doubt, you could try the non-tweaked version ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dubach:
well, its official, this boot animation just doesn't like my phone lol. i'm using the lastest aospgbmod. so i think i shall give up on it now. thanks tho for everyone that tried to help me out!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vayman:
Great job on the tweaked animation, looks awesome!!! I just dropped it into /system/media w/ root explorer b/c I do a complete wipe when updating ROMs. :eek:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kcptemple:
What do you use to move the file? I tried file manager and i cant rename, cant move, cant copy to... its like its locked or something... Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vayman:
As stated in the OP, you need a file manager w/ R/W capabilities like Root Explorer to mount /system. I use Root Explorer myself. It's a paid app but worth every penny! I've never used EStrongs (ES File Explorer) but it is free and may work. Not sure though, sorry.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] XGodOfModzX:
Idk if I should ask for a flashable tweaked bootanimation.zip or manually do it myself.

EDIT: Can Estrongs file manager do this or only root explorer do this?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] joed1960:
There's a free program in the market called Super Manager. That's what I used to copy the bootanimation.zip file over to /system/media. Just need to change permissions to R/W first.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vayman:
Thanks man! :) I wasn't aware of that app. I purchased root explorer when I first rooted my phone as a suggestion of the DEV who's ROM I was using and have never looked back! :D

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masrinz:
Hi, can anyone who owns a XOOM pls let me know if you can plug in:

1) a USB flash drive to the XOOM, and view and open files on the drive?

2) an external hard drive and view and access files from your XOOM

Many thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Does the Xoom have a USB port? Pretty sure it only has MicroUSB. I guess they do have microusb flash drives not that I look.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masrinz:
Hi. Yup its only got micro USB, but I guess you could use the included adapter cable to plug in a flash drive.... we don't have the XOOM here yet, but the functionality of being able to connect a flash drive, move files e.g. PDF or .doc and then view them is important to me.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
As of today what you want is not avab. The cable it comes with doesn't take input. They do have a cable online that will do this one day, but doesn't do it yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigglebox:
The cable that Motorola "will" be selling is a micro-usb to standard usb (female) adapter. I'll look around for the sources, but I know that I saw this detailed in a few videos from Motorola techs and at least one reviewer site.

The cable is not just a straight conversion of form factor, but has the necessary pinout to instruct the Xoom to jump into usb host mode. From the reports that I saw, it would absolutely provide the ability to plug usb drives, cameras and other accessories into the xoom for direct access. In fact, the reviewer that I saw, made a comment that they had verified the functionality by plugging in a couple usb keyboards... supposedly worked like a champ.

Lame that we need a "special" adapter, but I can imagine that if it is just a pinout issue, it may be possible for the good folks here at XDA to craft a software solution that would allow us to bypass the motorola-branded cable... It would have been WAY cooler if it was a standard usb port, like some of the other tablets on the horizon.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masrinz:
Thanks. They mention in many reviews and I think Google mentioned it too that you can attach a mouse or keyboard by cable (I know about Bluetooth) which suggests that it should support input, so is it just a hardware interface thing or an actual firmware OS/software issue?

Edit: thanks for the great response gigglebox.... we posted simultaneously
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masrinz:
Is this it?

http://www.clove.co.uk/motorola-xoom-camera-connection-kit
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigglebox:
Visually, yeah. Looks like they took it off their site for some reason. In fact the only times that I saw this on Moto's site, was in the day or 2 leading up to the launch... when typing in xoom into the search bar on their landing page, it would spit out a drop-down menu listing the Camera Connection Kit (by name and pic).

I dont like the fact that they call it a "camera connection", but they werent pulling any punches about it serving as a host. They did note that the external storage (thumbdrives, etc) were not yet supported, but that they would be. The cameras and (according to them) keyboards were working now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid4All:
I believe it is possible but right now it is a software limitation.

More info here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/329075
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masrinz:
Agreed, the engineer from moto definitely says the hardware should accept any usb 2.0 or higher device, but it's a software issue. Toshiba have a straight usb and a micro usb port on their device so hopefully they're working on this.

We don't have the XOOM here yet, but hopefully by the time it becomes available (approx April) we might have the option of the Toshiba as well.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspenMan:
I use this USB host cable and it works great. Have tested it with my 750gb Oyen and 320gb WD Passport external HDD's, several usb flash drives (8-16gb), San disk USB memory card reader, and a USB keyboard.

For those having issues getting their Xoom to recognize USB storage devices here's what I've got and did to get it to work: I flashed my XOOM (3.1) to the 2.6.36.4 Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.4-Full_Throttle Kernel and was unable to get the USBMount to recognize drives or storage at first. I installed USB Mass Storage Watcher from the market (it's free) and it works awesome! Can mount any storage I want (NTFS, FAT16/32, HFS, HFS+, EXT2, ETX3, EXT4) with any capacity. I think this app will work with any rooted Xoom (or other devices). Under my Kernel my USB host is located under/usbOTG.

Hope this helps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irekd:
FYI ... I've checked it and stock ROM Xoom without root is able to operate standard PC keyboard/mouse using basic one-to-one usb->microusb adapter (without any electronics onboard).

Probably with proper dual socket usb adapter (also without electronics onboard) it would be possible to connect both keyboard and mouse at once.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosterwp:
if you have a Logitech keyboard and mouse that connect by the unifying receiver,or mostly any keyboard+mouse combo that connects by one receiver, then only a standard OTG cable should work.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] death1246:

[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I just purchased the inspire today, little over a hour ago, very familiar with the custom roms and android, just came from captivate. Mine came with rom manager installed, how does this make sense? its not even rooted. And if for some reason it is a returned phone can they resale it as new?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
If you put in your Google account when the phone first boots up it automatically starts installing the apps you had installed previously (in this case, you must have had a phone with ROM Manager on it tied to your Google account at some point).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
really? it never did that on captivate, and it was only that maps and soemthing else that was on there asking if i wanted to update them. like right away, i never seen anything like it was d/l something i had tons of stuff installed on my other phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
That feature was always broken on Samsung ROMs. Did you ever install CM? The feature worked on CM so maybe that's where you had ROM Manager installed and it was backed up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
well i was back on stock been back on stock for awhile on samsung phone. and yea had rom manager installed on it, but had alot of other stuff from market. When I got this phone today right when i started messing with it something came up asking if i wanted to update 4 apps and rom manager was one of them. So made me think it came with it, and if it d/l the app for me shouldnt it have asked me? I mean some apps are pretty big. and if it did d/l it cause i had it on other phone where are all the other apps i had? btw it never did that with my droid x or vibrant either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Sounds like it was a returned phone to me. Just for grins I had a friend at my old att store test one out, threw my sim in and loaded it up, set my account up to check email and non of my apps installed from the market, had a prompt to update gmail and I think one other but that was about it. Did you get it from a core ATT store or a local retailer?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
I have had this on several different phones, though it never worked on my captivate. I believe if you select backup google data at some point and then again when setting up the new phone it triggers it. Not all apps will automatically download but many do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Hmm see learn something new everyday. Sense the cap was my first Android device I never knew. Thanks Newter for the info. I will be spending a bit more time in this forum as well from now on. Gotta love learning lmao
[HTC Inspire 4G] silenzzzz:
of the 20 or so i have unboxed i have yet to see one with it on there ... my guess is it is a possible return that was resold ...

did you get it at a dealership store? (radio shack, best buy, or a similar place) or an actual corporate store?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] D.Konieczny:
Hello,

I'm new to prgramming with C# and wanted to know how I can read a value from the phone's registry and display its data in a TextBox on WP7?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The problem isn't C# per se, but the public phone API doesn't allow registry access. If you only need read support, there's a library out there that will give you read capability on most of the registry, though you won't get write (permissions issue). Write surrport is also available on some devices, though that gets... tricky.

One place you can find this library, along with an example of how to use it, is in my IE Search Switcher app, located on this site. The short version is you include the native.dll library, enable some optional application capabilities, use the phone's interop library to get COM import into C#, and import the nativle library using COM. You can then call them from the managed (C#/.NET) code.

The Homebrew library comments and and included readme should explain enough to get you started. Be aware that any app doing this will fail Marketplace certification; you'll only be able to distribute it to people who have developer-unlocked phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
Good Evening,

After taking the 4G apart several times I decided I would take pictures to highlight the few differences. Some noticeable differences:

1) antenna placement on the board, matching contact placement different on the back housing underside

2) the connector for the headset is different and the ribbon is labeled T959V (model # for the 4G)

3) less memory which can be seen thru the software

4) the GPS still sucks and does not work on this one

5) maybe I received a defective unit but there is an overheating issue. the 4G uses 200ma more than the vibrant but maybe the phone or the charger is defective as it keeps overheating and with time charging seems to be more of an issue/concern. software confirms this with error message.

Enjoy the pics.

Software Differences

Overheating Error Software Message

Vibrant Memory

4G memory

4G on the left & Vibrant on the Right

Vibrant with a decapitated GPS Antenna Connector - failed GPS Fix

4G Antenna Shot

Vibrant Back Housing Underside

4G Back Housing Underside

Headset Connector Pins Difference - Vibrant on top, 4G on bottom

Thanks and I hope this helps satisfy some curiosity. In my opinion, from owning both of them, not worth the upgrade at all. The 4G is going back to T-Mo.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] oka1:
Can you confirm that the camera has the same plug connector as the vibrant ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
Yes - confirmed - camera has the same plug connector. I swapped various parts back & forth to test things out (actually using them, took pictures, etc.) and the only things that are not compatible are the headset plug connector; I guess that is why it is the only part inside that has T959V labeled on the ribbon itself, and the back housing - the antenna contacts receptor(?) on the underside, since one of them was moved to the top of the board, which is also labeled T959V instead of i9000 as it is on the Vibrant.
